Flexible to Fit Many Needs
No two customers are the same.
One may be looking for a wideband
cross-connect or a device that can
handle narrowband, wideband and

hot-swappable interface cards, virtual
concatenation, or best in class channel
protection. Whatever your require -
ments, the Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC
can be provisioned for a wide variety
of applications.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1671 SC is a

traditional cross-connect functionality
to provide extensive grooming capa -
bilities that maximize the efficiency

(4,608 DS3 equivalents) and a robust
feature set that includes narrowband,
wideband, broadband and data aggre -
gation functionalities, while retaining
the discreet Copy 0/Copy 1 redun -
dancy that continues to be a signature
